The AB‑QM valve equipped with an actuator is a control valve with full authority and an automatic balancing func tion / flow limitation. Typical applications
are: Temperature control with permanent automatic balancing on terminal units (chillers, air‑handling units, fan coils, induction units, radiation panels and
heat exchangers). Without an actuator is a flow limiter e.g for one‑pipe systems.
Description
The Danfoss AB-QM is a Pressure Independent
Control Valve (PICV) that combines high
accuracy and durability with market leading
user-friendliness. The design of the AB-QM is
fully geared towards making your project run on
time and on budget while delivering the most
efficient HVAC system.
Pressure independent valves are control valves
with an automatic balancing function. An
in-built pressure controller keeps a constant
differential pressure over the control valve,
ensuring full authority and automatic flow
limitation. By combining two functions in one,
control and automatic hydronic balance, Danfoss
PICVs provide a cost-efficient solution for the
challenges faced by forward-looking designers
of HVAC systems.
The Danfoss AB-QM delivers the lowest total cost
of ownership because:
• Precise flow limitation ensures always
the right flow at the right time, ensuring
minimized pumping energy
• Full range from DN15 to DN250 for flows up to
407 m3/h
• Available with internal and external thread for
universal applicability
• Danfoss’ durability test ensures the AB-QM
has best-in-class resistance to scaling and
clogging
• Easy troubleshooting because of the always
visible setting and the ability to measure flow
through test plugs
• Minimum hysteresis for stable and precise
temperature control
• Future-ready with a range of smart actuators,
ready for data driven and optimized HVAC 4.0

Presetting
DN 15‑32
The calculated flow can be adjusted easily
without using special tools.
The change of presetting (factory setting is 100%
(10) follow steps below:
1. Remove the blue protective cap or the
mounted actuator
2. Raise the pointer (DN 25-32)
DN 15 ‑ 32
DN 15, 20
0 - 10
DN 40 ‑ 100
3. Turn the pointer (clockwise to decrease) to the
new setting
4. Press pointer back into lock position
(DN 25-32) the presetting scale indicates
values from 100% flow to 0% (DN 25-32) and
10-0 (DN 15-20). Clockwise turning would
decrease the flow value while counter clock
wise would increase it.
For the service shut off function, it is
recommended to install the valve in the supply
water pipe.
DN 40‑10 0
For the service shut-off function, the valve can
be installed in either supply or return pipe.
Valves are equipped with manual shut-off for
isolating function up to 16 bar.
Tender text
A pressure independent balancing and control valve with a linear control characteristic that is
independent of the available pressure and setting. Make: Danfoss AB-QM or equivalent.
The pressure independent valve should have the following features:
• Automatic flow limitation function
• Membrane driven design for reduced clogging risk
• Modulating below 1% of set flow, regardless of the setting
• Maximum flow clearly marked on the valve
• Authority of 1 at all settings
• Ability to close against 16 Bar of differential pressure.
• Linear control characteristic
• Linear setting
• Control ratio 1:1000
• Test plugs for pump optimization and flow verification for DN 15-250. Available in the range from
DN 10 – 250 from one supplier.
• Option to change the characteristic from linear to equal percentage at all sizes by adjusting
actuator settings.
• Leakage rate of no visible leakage (IEC 60534-4:2007 class IV) for DN 15 - DN 20 in combination with
recommended actuator
• Leakage of 0.05 % of the Q
